President Trump was told as early as late January that COVID-19 would be the worst pandemic in a century, but admitted to downplaying the risk publicly.
Moral monstrosity.
It scarcely need be said, but the 27%ers won’t care. You can’t reason somebody out of something they didn’t first reason themselves into.
Just more evidence for the Trumpandemic Tribunals.
This MIGHT redeem Woodward after his fawning Bush at War.
If I hadn’t already said that this will do him in many, many times about a multitude of things over the last four years, I’d say that this will do him in
Good reporting from CNN many details
A million deaths is a statistic, after all.
Any normal time or normal President this would be the end. This would literally cause a landslide loss . . but we are not in normal times.
190,000 Americans couldn’t be reached for comment…
So, over 20% of Americans take medical advice from a man who says:
"more deadly than even your strenuous flu.”
What the fuck is strenuous flu?
Did it originate is Strenuvakia?
In the eternal contest about Trump: Idiot vs. Sociopath, Sociopath just took the lead.
It is too bad idiopathic is already a word with a different meaning, because it would be a good solution to this false dilemma.
Even as they bury their loved ones. They will continue to insist it was the underlying health conditions and the virus is a hoax.
Any prosecutor worth his or her salt should be able to nail him on a charge on voluntary genocide on this evidence.
They are playing TAPES of donnie saying that he knew COVID was airborne…back in March…
TAPES!
Damn…Woodward…tapes…I’m getting misty eyed with nostalgia.
ETA: Okay…got carried away…not really tapes…but audio files…probably mp3s.
If he isn’t fucking toast now this country is just insane. Period.
“You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed,” Trump reportedly told Woodward on Feb. 7. “And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu.”
His supporters may love their tax cuts and judges, or him, or just hate the same people he hates But they fail to understand just how dangerous he is. He is incredibly stupid (‘strenuous flu’? WTF is that?
And yes, most people understand the concept of airborne contagion, you don’t need to explain it ,donny). And he doesn’t care how many people die, so that he can think he looks good.
The long-term economic fallout will not be due to the Spring shutdown. It will be due to the Summer reopening, and the lack of attention to detail re: logistics for medical supplies, etc.
Trump: “And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu.”
i prefer my flu to be the less strenuous variety. … ?? yikes.
Yeah. Churchill “didn’t want to panic people” in 1940, but he never promised that German bombs "within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”*
